James Struggling and Possible Third Finals Loss
Is Lebron James struggling? Most people say he needs to contribute more points every game against the Spurs. I agree with this. Whenever he gets the ball, he looks to score. This is what players in the NBA are supposed to do. However, they are also supposed to play as a team. James ball hogs, and either turns the ball over, or goes in for a poor finish leading to a fast break point by San Antonio. If he does not step up his game for game 4, and more he could lose himself and his team the finals. This would be his third loss in the finals out of his four times making it there. Lebron needs to play as a team, and play smart.
Elongation Problem
San Antonio Spurs star, Tony Parker says that his sore right hamstring has a "slight elongation". Every Spurs fan, including himself hopes that he will be OK to play in game 4 of the NBA Finals against the Miami Heat. Parker had an MRI done that shows the strain.
Old Player to Young Coach
A player who just retired may consider a coaching job. The Brooklyn Nets currently have a vacant head coaching position. Early this week, Jason will meet with the general manager of the Nets, Billy King to hope to be the next head coach. It will definitely be interesting to see an old player become, a young coach, and see how Brooklyn players, fans and staff react to this decision.Is Lebron James struggling?

Karl's Decision
George Karl, the NBA Coach of the Year will not be returning to the Denver Nuggets next year. He is now available to retire from coaching forever, or consider another coaching job. The Memphis Grizzlies are still deciding whether or not to bring Lionel Hollins back. If they do not extend Hollin's contract, then Karl may be a secondary option. We will have to wait and see.

This season, Mau Ginobili of the San Antanoio Spurs has averaged a respectable 11.5 points, 5.4 assists, and 4.5 rebounds during this postseason...But is he holding back? Maybe, he is saving some extra energy for the finals, and is waiting to give an extra spark to the team. The Spurs know that there is a whole different level to his game and they are very eager to see him release his game against the Miami Heat on Thursday June, 6 for Game 1 of the NBA Finals Series.

His stitches have been removed, no more cast, and high hopes for the future. With almost six weeks of rehabilitation under his belt, since surgery to repair a torn Achilles tendon in his left leg, Kobe hopes to return, and re-cooperate fast enough so that he can start next seasons opener.
Superstar Retired
Not surprising news was announced on Monday but I'm sure everyone was either sad or happy for the guy. Jason Kidd who is very old for an NBA player and basketball star announced his retirement on Monday. After 19 seasons, this is what he accomplished...Jason Kidd was one of the best passing and rebounding guards in NBA history. Congratulations Jason! This is not just an opinion, it is a known fact.
Hibbert Fined$$$
Roy Hibbert has been fined 75,000 dollars by the NBA after he used a gay slur in one answer and had a profanity in another during his news conference Saturday following game 6 against the heat. Hibbert ended a response to a question about his defense on Miami Heat star LeBron James with"no homo."
Game 7
This is the second time this NBA post season that a series goes all the way to the 7th and final game. And what better series than the NBA semi finals?? The Miami Heat and Indiana Pacers will face off in Miami for a all or noting game. Whoever wins, will travel to the NBA Finals to play the San Antonio Spurs who swept the Memphis Grizzlies in only four games.
Game 7 Blowout
Everyone was excited to see a good final game in the 2012-2013 NBA season. They did see a MVP go to work on a underdog, the Indiana Pacers. However, Pacers fans that traveled too far to see their home team not perform as well as they should be performing. The Heat were ahead the whole game, and did not let up once. The reigning champions completely blew out the Pacers, and Indiana goes home empty and heartbroken. Final Score: 99-76
